    Yet another bird attack,

    Straight vertical then sport-mode it out of there. Birds can't climb that fast.

    Flying drones over private property is illegal in California?

    Super-advanced pro tip: Aluminum-Body F150. Or manually "call the ball" back into a soft bed. :)

    Flying drones over private property is illegal in California?

    Pro-tip: Have a legally-parked pickup to launch and recover out of the bed.

    Sell my new un-flown Mavic air 2 to get 2s?

    My first ( M2) is a superb 4K literally palm-sized folded quad you can pack away anywhere. Under 250 grams and no FAA registering. I keep both the Mini2 and 2S for different use, but I can't seem to let go of the solid little Mini when needing to "send up a drone" at a moment's notice.

    If you find my drone

    Saved me a couple times already on the Mini 2. Looked down, then back up. Where did it go?! Thumbs off sticks, check battery, take a deep breath and move laterally to reacquire. Last ditch RTH button and pray. Scary stuff. I fly daylight with an anti-collision strobe for this reason...

    Mini 2 Newb from Southern CA

    Hello all! I'm a proud owner of a Mavic Mini 2 with the bundle. Getting down the basic maneuvers and already bought a firehouse and a lumecube strobe for twilight flights. Unsure which one to keep. I fly RC so it can be a love/hate relationship. Love how quads just freeze in place with...

    Just got my Mini 2, charged all systems.....

    If careful you can fly indoors,likely in the living room even with auto take-off. Send it up, scare the pets, do a walk-around for balance check with no winds, yaw 360 around and gimbal up and down. It teaches finesse. Especially without prop-guards.
